Re: sperm donations...

I'm not 100% sure Mani but I think that the donor has no rights to contact the child....if there is one. I think that donors are given no information at all, at the time, as to where their donation went. Interestingly, imagine this........... Sperm donation was quite a popular pastime amongst students etc. in the past, especially USA because I think that they receive a small amount of money for the donation. With no record of true paternity, when the children grow up and get married, how do they know that they have not married one of their biological father's offspring? An unlikely scenario, but one which we had to have an ethical debate about back in the late 80's as student nurses.......Documentation regarding donors was not as good back then as it is now.
